10 Techniques to Make You the Fastest Go Cart Racer

You don’t have to be a professional to try go cart racing. Anyone can do it. Once you get familiar with the track and learn some essential techniques, you might even be ready to turn pro!

1. Sit properly: Sit with your back up against the seat. Leaning forward can slow you down.
2. Keep a sturdy grip on the wheel: Keeping your hands placed symmetrically gives you better maneuverability and control on the turns.
3. Be smooth with all the controls: Steady steering, braking and throttle helps you go faster.
4. Look ahead on the track: This helps you prepare your next moves, avoid unnecessary braking and maintain your high speed.
5. Stay straight for as long as possible: Frequent turning and swerving around other drivers or changing acceleration will slow you down.
6. Never brake and accelerate at the same time: The engine will stop if you do this.
7. Do not brake while turning: You could lose traction and spin out more easily. It is best to brake when you are in a straight line.
8. Follow faster drivers: Keep a safe distance and then accelerate to get past them when you have the opportunity.
9. Maintain a distance: This will minimize the chances of a slower driver getting in your way.
10. Compete for the best time: Passing other drivers will not help you win but clocking the fastest time will.
